31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Generally very consistent last season and was back in peak form when scoring in refitted blinkers at Windsor (1m, good) this month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but can still pose a threat; often leads. |

Fair fifth at Newmarket in May, before a lesser show 11 days ago; peak 2023 efforts (one C&D) came when blinkers were enlisted on last five starts and they now return for the first time this season; one to note. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 10-33 on AW features six wins at Wolverhampton, including in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; close fourth at Lingfield for an encouraging start to his 2026 campaign; fighting chance. |
7/2 |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best known as a Wolverhampton specialist (six wins), but is 2-5 over C&D and the middle leg of his hat-trick early last year included this race off 3lb lower; interesting. |
7/1 |

10th 4 (7) |

Has a much better stirke-rate on AW than on turf; form dipped back in this sphere when last seen; on a difficult mark and isn't the percentage call. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won an amateur riders' race off a mark 2lb higher than today's at York (1m2f, good) last June but he didn't match that level on his six subsequent starts; never-dangerous sixth of ten at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) when last seen 181 days ago and has since undergone his second wind operation; each-way claims on his return. |

Hasn't been at his very best since his 1m2f win at York in June but he's back to only 1lb above that successful mark and is a dual soft-ground scorer. |

All six wins on turf but running well on AW lately and probably did well to last for as long as he did when third of 12 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) ten days ago; races off the same mark and should go well again. |

Not beaten far on any of his three hurdling starts for Fergal O'Brien this season and, given he was very useful on the Flat at his best, could quite plausibly turn out to be well treated for this handicap hurdle debut. |

Pretty consistent 4yo who was beaten under 1l when fourth (just behind United Front) in Racing League contest at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower here and ought to be on the premises again. |

9st 10lb |
Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |

Paid dearly for his 5l success at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) in June; edging back down the weights now and not beaten far when sixth of 12 in a first-time tongue-tie at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last time, but still more needed; stable also runs Golden Melody. |

C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years and he hasn't fired yet this year; dropped 10lb as a result but perhaps not ready to capitalise just yet. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Still 1lb lower than when last successful and ran with credit when fourth of ten at Goodwood (1m, soft) nine days ago; well beaten in one previous go on the AW (at Kempton) so she does have a bit to prove. |

Best effort this term when third at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) on penultimate start; exposed mare but is handicapped to go well, having won off 1lb higher here in August 2022; creditable fourth in this race last year. |
